Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The 8-leg carp bed is packed with great care to ensure that it is optimally protected during transport. The sturdy cardboard box provides a reliable layer of protection to ensure that the product arrives at its destination undamaged. Although unnecessary packaging waste has been avoided, the use of plastic film may be a point of criticism for some consumers. Due to the intuitive handling of the carp bed, no instructions for use are required.

As part of our practical test, we extensively tested the 8-leg carp bed and systematically documented the results. The stability of the lounger is ensured by large, height-adjustable mud feet , which provide a secure footing on different surfaces. With a load capacity of up to 150 kg and a robust metal frame, the lounger is remarkably hard-wearing. The infinitely adjustable folding mechanism makes it easy to handle and adjust. In terms of comfort, the product offers sufficient space (190 x 63 cm) for comfortable lying and sitting as well as a height-adjustable backrest. High-quality materials, such as the 600 x 600 D Oxford nylon with PU-coated mesh lying surface, contribute to maximum comfort . It is also portable and easy to clean. The lounger is quick and easy to set up.
